Senate gives conditions for screening ministerial nominees

The senate at today's plenary session resolved that all ministerial nominees must have the endorsement of 2 senators from their state before they could be granted a pass during their screening.

Chairman of the Senate ad hoc committee on Media and Publicity, Dino Melaye who announced the new conditions today, said the upper legislative arm will also adopt other constitutional provisions and conventions for screening nominees.



He said the Senate would also apply Section 147 of the Nigerian constitution which states that a ministerial nominee must be an indigene of one of the 36 states of the federation, before that person can be screened.

Melaye however did not state what will be the outcome if a ministerial nominee fails to get the support of 2 senators from their state of origin. It appears former River state governor, Rotimi Amaechi may be having a tough time at the senate with this new condition as all 3 PDP senators from his state have expressed their opposition against his nomination.

In a related development, some of the minsiterial nominees have reported to the Nigeria Police Headquarters for profiling as directed by President Buhari. Those that have reported so far includes former Lagos state governor Babatunde Fashola, Audu Ogbe, Chris Ngige, Udoma Udo Udoma and Abubakar Malami.

Good one👍

OMOBOLANLE said...

HMMM STORY FOR THE gods....Amaechi will be given a pass if the senate likes it or not....since they feel his corrupt why has he not been prosecuted before now...because the accusation of pdp lacked evidence. .
Secondly for obanikoro to be passed under jona administration because hes a pdp member with all the allegations against him...amaechi will be passed also...no matter what it takes Apc members should also use obanikoros incidence as platform for the pdp.

OMOBOLANLE said...

If only the president has appointed him as chief of staff or secretary to the federal government all this raising of eyebrows wouldnt have arise...its gonna be a big shame if pdp stops amaechi from been passed.

It's not just Amaechi ooo. What about Lai Mohammed,Ngige and Fayemi? The Senators from those states are PDP senators.
What about Fashola? Choi,Remi Tinubu will not endorse him ooo since he's fighting with her husband.
ApC just a bunch of messy boots.

River state is just a weapon pdp wants to use in dis organising dis govt bringing issues upon issues to slow d Democratic progress of this govt by trying to oppose ameachi.

Why should They fear Buhari. If we really want corruption to be wiped out, then we should stop with this kind of mind set. Buhari, if he truly wants to fight corruption, he should allow them do their work.
Our problem is our youths.....

Hmmmmm Rotimi

Kwashman said...

Like we have been saying, Gov. Wike and Rivers people are not interested, whether Amaechi is made minister or not. All we are saying is that Amaechi should return back River funds and properties, he has kept d state totally broke. How can a man be an enemy to d people he was governing? Wicked Amaechi. Bring back Rivers funds and properties in ur possession

The SP can overrule any objection on Amaechi, SP would have negotiated this with presidency, it's all part of the deal for SP's soft landing

This must be a joke and absolutely dead on arrival... I remember vividly when the 3senators from Lagos state kicked against Obanikoro but was gladly told to take a bow and was confirmed minister.. Same applied to Adesiyan from Osun state... PDP senators shldnt truncate the progress of this beloved country

Cashfoot said...

It's damn easy... he would scale through
